PREFACE. 



To suggest better plans for schoolhouses, to prevent waste 
of money on improperly constructed houses, when properly 
constructed houses can be erected in many cases at the same 
or slightly increased cost, to make it easy and inexpensive 
for school officers to secure these better plans, I have had pre- 
pared by Messrs. Barrett & Thomson, well-known architects, 
the subjoined revised, enlarged and improved plans for one, 
two, three, four and six room schoolhouses. The first pam- 
phlet of plans for schoolhouses was issued in 1903. This 
pamphlet contains changes and. improvements suggested by 
five years' experience. Accompanying the plans will be 
found blank detachable contracts, full printed specifications, 
and carefully prepared bills of material for each house, to- 
gether with cuts and floor plans of the same. If larger work- 
ing plans for these buildings are desired, blueprints can be 
procured at small cost from Messrs. Barrett & Thomson, 
Ealeigh, K c. 

These plans have been prepared in accordance with modern 
principles of ventilation, light and sanitation. Full explana- 
tions of each plan by the architects will be found in this pam- 
phlet. It will be seen that some of the plans have been so 
arranged that larger houses can be evolved from the one-room 
house if the enlargement of the district or increased popula- 
tion and attendance should later require the enlargement of 
the schoolhouse. (See under Cost, last page). Any num- 
ber of these pamphlets can be procured, free of cost, by appli- 
cation to the State Superintendent. 

Very truly, 

J. Y. Joynee, 

Superintendent Public Instruction. 

Raleigh, N. C, January, 1908.

SCHOOLHOUSES, BUILDING AND APPROVAL OF; CONTRACTS FOE. The 

building of all new schoolhonses shall be under the control and direc- 
tion of and by contract with the County Board' of Education. The 
board shall pay not exceeding one-half of the cost of the same out of 
the fund set aside for building under section four thousand one hun- 
dred and sixteen, and the school district in which any schoolhouse is 
erected shall pay the other part, and upon failure of such district to 
provide its part by private subscription or otherwise the board is 
directed to take it out of the apportionment to that district. But the 
hoard shall not be authorized to invest any money in any new house 
that is not built in accordance with plans approved by the State 
Superintendent of Public Instruction. All contracts for buildings 
shall be in writing and all buildings shall be inspected, received and 
approved by the County Superintendent of Public Instruction before 
full payment is made therefor.

PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES, 

WITH EXPLANATIONS, SPECIFICATIONS, BILLS OF 
MATERIAL AND ESTIMATES OF COST. 



It is not economy, but instead impractical and unbusiness- 
like, to build cheap, unsanitary schoolhouses, in which the 
children are not surrounded by the very best conditions of 
health. 

The building should be substantially and warmly built, 
with solid brick foundation, double walls and floors. With- 
out warm floors, feet are sure' to be cold, and this keeps the 
children from studying and progressing as they should. 

For the smaller buildings brick piers may be used, and the 
space between same tightly boarded up with tongued and 
grooved flooring or ceiling. The extra cost of the materials 
required for the solid brick walls, double walls and floors, 
above the cost of piers and single walls and floors, will be 
more than offset by the saving in fuel and the increased com- 
fort to the pupils. 

All schoolrooms should be well lighted, heated and venti- 
lated. When the room is bright and attractive and the air 
pure, the pupils are always bright and attentive, and the 
teachers can do better work. With a poorly lighted room and 
bad air, the pupils are dull, inattentive and irritable. 

Each building should be provided with an entrance vesti- 
bule, or hall, as a protection against cold draughts in the 
schoolrooms. The schoolrooms should each have an ample 
coat room, with a door from vestibule, or hall, and also one 
from the schoolroom, so that the teacher can have perfect con- 
trol over the room at all times. It would be hard to imagine 
a more unsanitary condition in a schoolroom than would be 
caused by the steam and gases arising from the drying of a 
lot of damp and not always cleanly outer garments. This 
should be avoided by placing all coats and wraps in the sepa- 
rate coat rooms.

PLANS FOK PUBLIC SCIIOOLHOUSES. 7 

A lunch closet, with lock and key, should he provided in 
each coat room. 

The accompanying plans have been prepared especially to 
meet the growing demand for better and more attractive 
school buildings for the country districts of the State of North 
Carolina. 

SITE FOR A SCHOOL BUILDING. 

The selection of the site for the school building has much to 
do with the hygienic condition of the school. 

If possible, the location should be high and dry. Marshes 
or springy land should not be used. Dampness is calculated 
to foster such diseases as diphtheria, typhoid fever, .consump- 
tion and rheumatism. Breathing a damp atmosphere will 
often cause languor and headache. 

The site should be as naturally attractive as can be found 
without going outside of the prescribed limits. 

The school building should, if possible, be located in or 
near our public highways, where the school building can be 
seen by the passers-by. When its doors are closed, and the 
voices of the children are not heard, the building itself will 
stand as a silent sentinel for the cause of public education. 

The earth taken from the excavation for foundation should 
be graded under and around the building in such manner as 
to^ carry the surface water away from the walls. The size of 
the building will be governed by the present or probable needs 
of the district in which it is to be built. 

Where a one-room building will answer for present needs, 
build the one-room schoolhouse, plan No. 1 of the accompany- 
ing designs. When more room is required, a second room 
can be added, which will give the two-room building, plan 
No. 2 C When still further enlargement is found necessary, 
a third room and tower can be added to plan No. 2 C, giving 
the arrangement shown by plan and design No. 3. Where e. 
more ornamental one-room building is required, build room A, 
plan No. 2, and tower. Room B can be added at any time,

giving the complete two-room building shown by plan and 
design No. 2. A third room can later be added, giving a 
three-room building similar in plan to No. 3. Only a slight 
change in the construction will be required in making the 
additions above mentioned, and very little material lost. 

Plans and designs No. 2 A and No. 2 B show two-room 
buildings, of different arrangement and appearance, which 
should be built complete. 

Plans and designs numbered 3 A, 3 B and 3 C give a 
choice in three-room buildings, both in arrangement and ap- 
pearance. A very attractive building has been made by build- 
ing a gable over the front center projection, plan No. 3 G, in 
place of the hipped roof shown, and using the tower shown 
with designs Nos. 2 and 3. 

Plan and design No. 4 show a compact four-room building, 
with class rooms all on one floor. Plan and design No. 5 
show the same number of class rooms on two floors. 

Plan and design No. 6 show a two-story six-room building, 
with class rooms on two floors. 

The cost of the buildings illustrated will vary greatly, 
owing to the difference in the price of labor and materials in 
different sections of the State, the distance materials will have 
to be hauled, and the ability of the contractors bidding to 
handle the work economically. They will cost no more than 
poorly arranged buildings of the same size and construction. 

In comparing contract prices with the cost of buildings 
already erected, it will be well to examine carefully the speci- 
fications and working drawings, and note the materials and 
construction called for. 

The two-story buildings will cost less than, the one-story 
buildings with the same number of rooms.

The approximate number and location and the size desk to 
be used in each class room is marked on floor plans. 

The ceiling's in schoolrooms should be at least 13 feet clear 
between the ceiling and finished floor. This will give ap- 
proximately 200 cubic feet of air and 15 feet of floor space to 
each pupil. 

The light, according to the best authorities, should come 
from the rear and left side, or left side of the pupil only, 
and the glass surface should equal from one-sixth to one-fifth 
of the floor area of the room. 

The windows should be set 3 or 3% feet above the floor, 
and the window head should come within 12 inches of the ceil- 
ing. The schoolroom windows should have a 24-inch transom 
sash, hinged at the bottom, to swing in. In opening a tran- 
som hinged in this manner the outside air is deflected upward 
against the ceiling and distributed uniformly through the 
room, instead of striking the children in a solid stream, as 
when an ordinary window is opened. The sash below the 
transom bar should be hung with cord and weights. 

The blank walls on one or more sides of the schoolrooms 
should be fitted with slate or good composition blackboards, 
with chalk trough at base. The boards should be from 3 to 
4^/2 feet high, and set from 2 feet 1 inch to 2 feet 4 inches

above floor for primary pupils, and 2 feet 6 inches above floor 
for intermediate pupils. 

The best and most economical means of heating and venti- 
lating small buildings, where a complete system of heating 
and ventilation cannot be installed, is by means of a venti- 
lating stove in each schoolroom. Cuts Xos. 1 and 2 show an 
outside and inside view of one of these heaters. 

The heater is so constructed that the fresh air from the 
outside is warmed and carried into the room, where it is dis- 
tributed evenly into all its parts, making one even tempera- 
ture throughout. The air is warmed as it passes between the 
inside castings and the casing, and escapes into the room 
through a sliding register on top. The fresh air is taken 
from the outside through a duct, which brings the air under 
the heater. It is not necessary to place the heater in the 
center of the room ; any out-of-the-way place will do. Seats 
can be placed within two feet of the stove. Cut jSTo. 3 shows 
the position of the stove, fresh-air duct and vent flues. The 
flues should be built, as shown on the plans, with two-inch 
brick wythes between them. The smoke flue should be 8 
inches by 12 inches, and the vent flue 12 inches by 12 inches, 
with vent register near floor line. As soon as a fire is lighted 
in the heater the smoke will pass inter the smoke flue (S), 
thereby heating the brick partition between the flues. The 
radiant heat of same rarities the air in the ventilating flue 
(V), which causes the air in same to rise upward. The air 
is replaced by the foul air in the bottom of the room through 
the ventilating register (V R), which in turn is carried up- 
ward and outward. The heater, being supplied with fresh 
air from outside, heats it moderately and sends it into the 
room. The ventilating flue, being heated by the smoke flue, 
exhausts the foul air, thereby causing a constant change of air 
in the room. 

The temperature in the schoolroom should be kept as even 
as possible, between 68 and 70 degrees.

The quantities called for in the following bills of material 
are based on the dimensions and construction shown by the 
working drawings and details, and any departure from this 
construction will change the quantities required. Only suffi- 
cient material is included to complete the work in accordance 
with these plans. 'No allowance is made for scaffolding or 
other outside uses. In framing, long timbers should be 
framed first ; no long timbers should be cut to make short 
lengths until long timbers are all framed ; this will apply to 
sills, girders, joists, studding, rafters, etc. In estimating 
quantities for brickwork, lots are considered level and build- 
ings set at the elevation above grade line shown on drawings. 
If lots are not level and buildings are set higher above grade, 
more brick will be required. 

Plans Nos. 1, 2, 2 A, 2 B and 2 C are figured for brick 
piers for foundations, the space between piers to be boarded 
up as called for in specifications. Other plans are figured 
for 9-inch walls to grade line, with piers and 4-inch brick 
curtain walls between same above grade.
